To better accommodate outdoor play space that will support the Olympic Village School, the Vancouver Board of Education (VBE) and the City of Vancouver (CoV) are negotiating an access agreement and improvements to the portion of Hinge Park outlined in red.

There is currently no timeline for redevelopment of Site 1A, however, a considerable waterfront park will be part of the eventual phased development.
